Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place.

A Russian legend has a story about the origins of cats. The cat’s coat, it was said, was originally designed for the dog, but the dog became so impatient when coats were being handed out that he was told to wait at the back of the queue. The cat was given the fur instead of the dog. This, according to Russian folk storied, is the origin of why dogs dislike cats.
A nameless cat with a taste for travel flew for three weeks between New York and Tel Aviv in 1984. It escaped from its owner’s cat-box in the plane’s luggage compartment(行李倉)on the first trip and all efforts to get it out with bowls of milk and food failed. After nearly 80,000 miles of flying the airline called in a vet who got it out.
The Chinese attitude to the cat was not clear. Cats were welcome for their ability to kill mice and were considered suitable pets for women. On the other hand, they were suspected of bring bad luck into the home. In the days before the invention of the watch, it was said that they used their cats as clocks. The pupils(瞳孔)of the cat’s eyes were believed to gradually change shape with the position of the sun in the sky. At midday they were a narrow line and they gradually became rounder until sunset.
Britain’s cleanest cat is undoubtedly Harvey, a five-month-old Persian who climbed into his owner’s washing machine. He went through a ten-minute wash cycle before someone noticed him through the glass door, and pressed the “stop” button. Harvey was soon back to his usual self.
Cats seem to be able to sense earthquakes. Josie, who lives in California, warned her family of a quake in 1971.
She wore her owners. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, at 5:50am by jumping onto the bed and running around. When the Miller followed her out of the house, Josie ran off. The earthquake was only a small one, but the cat raised the alarm every time there was a quake after that.
1.From the Russian legend we know the dog_____.
A. sees the cat his friend. B. received the fur coat.
C. disliked the fur D. got punished by God
2.Which of the following shows it is sometime in the afternoon according to the Chinese belief?

Some people are like homing pigeons: Drop them off anywhere, and they’ll find their way around. Other people, though, can’t tell when they’re holding a map upside down. Are the directionally challenged just bad learners?
Not all of your navigational (導航的)skills are learned. Research shows that your sense of direction is innate. An innate ability is something you are born with. Your brain has special navigational neurons—head-direction cells, place cells, and grid cells (網格細胞)—and they help program your inside compass when you’re just a baby.
In 2010, scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats’ neural activity in their brains. Although the rats were newborns, the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells (which help them recognize the direction they’re facing) were fully grown and developed. The rats, it seemed, were born with a sense of direction. And they hadn’t even opened their eyes yet!
Humans, of course, are not rats. But the hippocampus—the brain area we use for navigation—is similar in most mammals. If the rat’s compass develops this way, then it’s likely that a human’s compass does, too.
If we’re born with a sense of direction, then why are some people so good at getting lost? The scientists found that the two other cells—place and grid cells—developed within the first month. Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind, while grid cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places. The two cells work together, and that’s where the trouble might be.
People who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places. Monitoring their brains, the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers recognize where they were—even without landmarks. According to researcher Michael Kahana, differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.
1.What did the 2010 research find?
A. Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions.
B. Rats’ hippocampus is different from that of humans.
C. Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes.
D. Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups.
2.What do we know about our navigational neurons?
A. Place cells let us know how to read a map.
B. Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to.
C. They help us use a compass when we lose our way.
D. Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells.
3.Why are some people so good at getting lost?
A. They can’t remember landmarks.
B. Their grid cells can’t work very well.
C. They are unfamiliar with new places.
D. Their ability to follow directions is poor.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. Human navigational skills.
B. The compass in rats’ body.
C. Why grid cells are useful.
D. How homing pigeons work.
